Well he might have been really insightful by meaning to trade for young talent, expiring contracts, and draft picks and wait out the current elite teams as TD, Nash, and Nowitzki start winding down and Melo (among others) start hitting their prime...

But I doubt it, and he was actually just being a loudmouth.

Perhaps. I hadn't thought of that. If that was his point, I wish he would have said it. All he said was "Last time I checked, Dallas, San Antonio, and Phoenix play in the West. This doesn't help the Nuggets at all."
